Atlanta-based artist Atticus Roness has earned a reputation as a beloved act in the local music scene, thanks to his prolific songwriting, magnetic stage presence and a knack for reinvigorating classic sounds. Since making his debut in 2023 with the single “So What” and his first album Square One, Atticus has become a cherished figure in his home city and beyond.
Now with his highly anticipated sophomore record called Power Pop World Domination, set to drop in April, Atticus Roness brings us his latest release with his brand new single titled “Not The One (I’m Looking For).” The first window into the upcoming album, the single serves up an epic celebration of power pop that bridges its historic roots with cutting edge aesthetic and energy.
“Done right, power pop is too pop for rock and too rock for pop, but just right in the end,” he explains. With Power Pop World Domination, he aims to reclaim the soaring guitars, slick harmonies and infectious hooks that defined the genre’s golden years and “Not The One (I’m Looking For)” offers the perfect taste of what’s in store.
Produced and engineered by Caleb Heiple and mixed and mastered by Christopher Alan Yates, the song also features stellar contributions from Radley Fenimore on bass and Stephen Grubb on drums while Atticus himself lays down guitars, vocals and keys. Together, the team has crafted a track that feels at once nostalgic and modern, brimming with energy, precision and an instantly memorable sound.
Brought in by the buzz of a hazy bass guitar line and crunchy guitar tones, the rattle of drums injects a bouncy energy as splashy cymbals accent the rhythm before Atticus’ commanding vocals enter, lifted by dashes of smooth backing vocals. Deftly balancing the bright charm of power pop with the energy of indie rock and subtle swagger of Britpop, “Not The One (I’m Looking For)” delivers a spectacular revival of the power pop vibe.
Cut with catchy vocal hooks, exquisite musicianship and wrapped in superb production, it’s an engaging jam that’s sure to win over fans around the world. With his second full-length record on the horizon, we can’t wait to see what Atticus Roness has lined up with his exploration of modern power pop music.
